The 1/6th scale, 12-inch Z-Girl action figure is now available for pre-order.
A collectible figure unlike any other, our heroic female zombie is fully posable
with
machetes, weapons, and a variant "zombie" head. Because she is going
to be
produced
in limited quantities, she will probably sell out before the
August
Connecticut
ComicCONN or October New York Comic Con shows,
which
means
we
may not
have any at our booth.
So order yours today at:
